Are all these vendors selling the USA version or just Nelly's Security? How do you tell?

Purchased two Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW from Alptop and they were both Chinese versions in brown box. Amazon took them back and claimed it was their fault because they fulfilled the order. I'm not so sure about that. I purchased from CondorD and Nelly's and they were both the English version, in retail packaging (red and white box). I contacted CondorD by email before I purchased and they confirmed that they only sell the English version. (No listing at the moment for this camera)

It depends on the vendor. I had to write to several vendors and found a few that offered the "English" versions, not the hacked Chinese. I ordered from SafeGuard Designs and appeared to get the English version.

When ordering from PoE Depot on Amazon. The cameras came with USA firmware, in a retail box and with the power cord and manual. Before I got the USA version of this camera I ordered this camera from CCTV System on Amazon. When ordering from them this Camera had a chinese sticker what was impossible to read the mac address, had China firmware that my POE router could not find it. It came in a brown box with no power cord or manual. It was simply a plastic brick.

SecuritySolutions is selling re-boxed and hacked firmware Chinese versions.

PinCart shipped me the grey market Chinese versions. They wrapped the brown box in white opaque plastic, which seemed kind of deceptive based on people calling the US retail version the "white box."

Several posters recommended buying from "PoE Depot" or Nelly to get US retail version. Others reported Amazon "fulfilled" the order with Chinese brown box. The camera listed as sold by "PoE Depot" fulfilled by Amazon. So can a buyer be sure to receive a US retail version of the camera? (Amazon question box does not allow posting long winded question).

Ctronicssecuritycameras and SecurityTechnology both sold me Chinese versions. Ctronicssecuritycameras was even missing parts. CondorD sold me an american, but hasn't been in stock for a while.

If you buy from Ctronicssecuritycameras, then you'll get the US version. I bought one from them, and it worked fine. The plastic wing-nut is fragile. It can crack easily, do not over-tighten it.

Got my first one from "CCTV System" and it was a brown box with Asian Firmware. BEWARE of these! If you load a English firmware from Hikvision's website it bricks the cam and sticks it in a reboot loop. If you call Hikvision support they won't support you as its a Chinese firmware and unauthorized reseller.Ordered a 2nd on through "PoE Depot" and it came in a branded Hikvision box & is the english version. This is what you want and should be supported by Hikvision.

Yes it's electronichealing.com/uk however at the website u can click on US residents. I'd still shop around since it's FDA approved.

Box says for sale in USA only. Lists Neil-Med with address in CA but also lists locations in PA and one in Germany. Can't say for sure where packets were manufactured.

I personally have not had any problems with this. I always buy from vendors with good ratings and preferably US based.

I don't have the package but we don't use odd country mfgs - just read the other responses. If it is China, then I'd avoid.

I remain confused why every time I click the link for this product a different price and seller is featured. They range from $3.01 to $28 (for new) and how are we supposed to know which is going to give us the quality battery and not? My order says the 2 batteries I ordered came from PacificCellularDistributor ($9.30) and neither one would charge past 83%. The vendor us not happy with my negative review saying their batteries are OEM and the fault must lie with Amazon and pulling the wrong stock for them because they supposedly supply only OEM batteries. I'm not the only one with a comment their battery from them did the same, so my review will not be edited. Like I said in my review, I can believe these are OEM however I doubt they are new. One has to wonder what happens to all those batteries when people upgrade their phones. I don't know, but I suspect they are sold in bulk to resellers who then sell them as "genuine OEM" batteries. The old saying "you get what you pay for" may indeed be the case here. I decided if I'm going to save some money vs a new one from the carrier phone store then I'll just take my chances on a vendor making "compatible" batteries, at least then I'm likely to get a new one. Good luck with all of you - I can't figure out the "fulfillment" process here when several vendors supply what is claimed to be the same thing and with extreme price ranges.

So far as I can tell, they are different vendors offering the same product. However, their promised delivery time is very different, so be sure to take that into consideration.

I believe that the one that I have is an international model because I've been able to do everything with it and get all the updates. Further, it's not marked AT&T, just Nokia.

Yeah... I saw one or two places myself that claim to have it in stock. I'm less than 100% confident that they're being completely forthcoming though. I think I might just send an email to Buy.com to try and get the straight dope. I'll post any response back here if I get one.

I believe that is a mistake, it is the new version. However, using the SLR camera market as an reference, this item is "grey" market. That is, it is a product manufactured for the Chinese market, not the the US market. This matters to Apple, who will not allow the US AppleCare to used with it. At least, this was my experience.

The one I ordered on here is legitimate. My fiancé loved it, read the review prior to purchase, that may help. �

I ordered mine from the Just 5 site.. not amazon or one of it's vendors - sounds like something you might need to take up with the seller. Sadly, my other half lost ours but we have decided to go cell (NSA spying) free

Not much else to say. I can only relay the experience I had in 2012. I advise you to contact the vendors or Safeguard itself. I had questions as well at the time and downloaded the user manual before purchasing the product. When one veers from the designated instructions, they're on their own.

Please make sure the seller is in USA. I received a fake and completely different product from a seller in China. I had to file a claim.

I found the Canadian Porlex website, got the same scary popup window on my screen warning me of the dangers of buying from Amazon or other dealers. Scary stuff:). I compared the bottom of my grinder to the picture on their website and as far as I can tell they are the same. I received my grinder in the same packaging as they show on the site. But they sell the item for 11 US dollars more plus the s/h. I would think if they really had an issue they would buy one from Amazon, send it back to Porlex, and have them identify it for them. But it is probably easier to throw aspersions than to really know the facts. All I know is the grinder is fabulous and works great for me.

The one I received looked official - it came in Mophie-labeled packaging, etc. But according to Mophe it's counterfeit. Amazon is being great about taking it back, etc. and has their fraud department looking into the problem.
